Based in Montgomery, Alabama, The Donnell Group publishes biographies, autobiographies, anniversary, genealogy, special interest and other non-fiction books as well as fiction for general and targeted readerships. The Donnell Group offers book promotion and marketing programs tailored to the subject of the book and the potential readership. The Donnell Group can work closely with traditional chain and independent bookstores and/or provide targeted readership promotional programs to induce sales through direct-mail and web site traffic. The Donnell Group also provides purely contract publishing services. There is no limitation on the size of the print run order.

Partnerships

The Donnell Group is open to various partnerships:

• traditional publisher-author royalty arrangements based on market-driven sales

• split investment and split revenue-sharing between the publisher and the author

• specialty contract publishing for an individual or an organization. An example was when a church affiliation hired The Donnell Group to edit, design, print and deliver books to the church for an anniversary celebration. Another example was when a World War II fighter pilot hired The Donnell Group to edit his manuscript, design, print and deliver books to the pilot for his distribution as gifts to family members, friends and peers.

In the area of specialty publishing, we have published church anniversary books, genealogy books, personal remembrances.

Last year The Donnell Group published an attractive hardback book on the Church of the Ascension in Montgomery, Alabama upon the church’s 100th anniversary. The book is entitled "The Church of the Ascension: A Resurrection Story," written by Lynn Willoughby. The Donnell Group participated in the editing of the manuscript as well as the photography selection, and designed the dust jacket and book. The book includes 75 black and white photos, as well as a 16 page section of color photographs of the current church and its membership.

Also last year, The Donnell Group published a 300 page genealogy book, Iron Butterfly,” written by Terry Sellers, Jr., concerning a family in the Southern U.S. and its Scots-Irish heritage. The hardback book includes more than 150 black and white photos, maps and documents.

		We have published the personal remembrance, “Only Doing My Job: Memories of a World War II Fighter Pilot.” A World War II veteran approached us with his rough notes of his experiences and his goal of producing a booklet that he could give to his grandchildren and other family members and friends so they would understand not only his vital role in World War II, but also so they could appreciate the magnitude of the War itself. We conducted several interviews with the veteran, rewrote his notes and with War-time photos he provided we designed the book, saw it into print, and delivered books to him in time for him to pass them out at his family’s annual Easter reunion.

We’ve also contracted our writing services to other publishers who sought us out for our expertise in researching and writing biographies and special interest books. We wrote,  “Hunting: The Southern Tradition,“ a widely popular “coffee table” book. We wrote, “Shug: The Life and Times of Auburn’s Ralph ‘Shug’ Jordan,” with the foreword written by Georgia football coaching great Vince Dooley. We also wrote, “The Hig: Penn State’s Football Legacy, The Higgins-Suhey Family,” with the foreword provided by the legendary Joe Paterno.

So as you see, we have done and we can do whatever it takes, in whatever investment structure is required, to publish a book, market it and sell it or simply deliver it into your hands.
